29740. By resolution the board of supervisors may adopt the
procedure for the approval of claims prescribed in this article.
29741. The auditor shall audit and allow or reject claims in lieu
of, and with the same effect as, allowance or rejection by the board
of supervisors in any of the following cases:
(a) Expenditures which have been authorized by purchase orders
issued by the purchasing agent or other officer authorized by the
board.
(b) Expenditures which have been authorized by contract,
ordinance, resolution, or order of the board.
(c) Expenditures under any statute authorizing payment of public
aid or assistance which have been ordered by the board.
(d) Expenditures for charges incurred by the county pursuant to
the provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 29600) of this
division.
(e) Refunds of unearned business license fees, permit fees and
similar fees authorized by resolution of the board of supervisors.
29742. The auditor shall issue his warrant on the county treasury
for such an amount for each claim as he finds to be a correct and
legal county charge. He shall not issue his warrant for any claim
that has not been on file in his office for at least three days.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board may, upon recommendation of
the county auditor, provide by ordinance that the three-day waiting
period shall not apply to any claims or to specified classes of
claims.
29743. If the auditor finds that any claim presented is a proper
county charge, but is greater in amount than is justly due, he may
allow the claim in part and issue his warrant for the portion
allowed.
29744. If the claimant is unwilling to receive the amount tendered
in full payment, he shall return the warrant to the auditor within 30
days after the tender together with his written refusal to accept
the amount in full payment of the claim. The auditor shall
immediately transmit the claim to the board, together with a
statement of his action, his reasons therefor, and claimant's
refusal. The board shall consider and take action upon the claim
within 10 days after its receipt. It shall allow such an amount in
payment thereof as is a proper county charge, not to exceed the
amount claimed, and may require the claimant to accept the amount
allowed in settlement of the entire claim. Sections 29703 and 29704
of the Government Code shall be applicable thereto.
29745. If the auditor finds that any claim is not a proper county
charge, he shall reject it and endorse his rejection thereon.
29747. The auditor shall prepare duplicate lists of all claims he
allows, showing as to each claim: date allowed, warrant number, name
of claimant, and amount allowed. He shall certify that the lists are
correct, file one copy in the office of the board and preserve the
other or a photographic copy thereof in his own office. As to such
claims the lists constitute, respectively, the allowance book and the
warrant book. If the allowance book is dispensed with by the board
of supervisors pursuant to Section 25102, the auditor shall prepare
only a single list of all claims he allows, in the form and according
to the procedure required for duplicate lists, and shall file the
list in his office as the warrant book.
29748. The board may prescribe, by resolution, additional
procedures for the audit and disposition of claims but the procedures
so prescribed may not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
chapter, of Part 3 (commencing with Section 900) and Part 4
(commencing with Section 940) Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the
Government Code, or of any other statutes or regulations expressly
governing any such claims or the payment thereof.

and services have been received or furnished or contracted for.
